Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school The headteacher, governors and staff have created a culture where everyone works together to improve pupils' outcomes, teaching, learning and assessment, and pupils' behaviour. Leaders have implemented an exciting curriculum with stimulating displays that engage pupils in their learning.

Governors now challenge school leaders appropriately and make an effective contribution to school improvement. Teaching, learning and assessment are good. Teachers use their strong subject knowledge to develop pupils' learning in a wide range of subjects.

The school engages well with parents. Parents say the school keeps their children safe. They value th...e support pupils receive.

Pupils' standards by the end of Year 2 in reading, writing and mathematics have been significantly above national expectations since the last inspection. All groups of pupils now make good progress from their starting points. The highly effective teaching of phonics underpins the development of early reading and writing.

The early years is a strength of the school. Children benefit from learning in an environment that is well suited to their needs. Pupils are proud of their school.

Their attendance is high and they enjoy coming to school. Pupils' behaviour around school is good and most show positive attitudes to learning. These good attitudes contribute well to their spiritual, moral, cultural and social development.

It is not yet an outstanding school because : Leaders and teachers do not always make full use of the accurate information they collect about pupils' learning to ensure that pupils make accelerated and sustained progress. The most able pupils are not always challenged sufficiently to deepen their understanding further to enable them to reach the higher standards.
